Background of the Study
Tax reforms are vital tools for improving fiscal policy, generating government revenue, and promoting economic growth. In Nigeria, tax reforms have been increasingly focused on enhancing efficiency, broadening the tax base, and stimulating employment generation. Lagos State, as the economic hub of Nigeria, has implemented several tax reforms aimed at increasing revenue collection while fostering an enabling environment for job creation, particularly in its fast-growing sectors such as technology, commerce, and manufacturing (Ogunleye & Oduwole, 2023).

Despite the potential of tax reforms to create a favorable economic climate, the relationship between tax policies and employment generation remains under-explored in the context of Lagos State. Prior reforms, including changes in tax rates, compliance measures, and incentives for businesses, have been accompanied by mixed results regarding their direct impact on employment (Adeyemi & Gbadamosi, 2024).

This study evaluates the effectiveness of tax reforms in Lagos State in fostering employment, particularly in the private sector, and analyzes whether these reforms have successfully stimulated job creation.

Statement of the Problem
Lagos State has introduced various tax reforms over the years with the goal of increasing revenue and stimulating employment. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the effectiveness of these reforms in generating jobs, especially for the youth and marginalized groups. The complex relationship between tax policy changes and employment outcomes requires in-depth investigation (Adeniran & Fola, 2024).

This study investigates the impact of tax reforms on employment generation in Lagos State, focusing on the practical outcomes of such reforms and their contribution to economic growth.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To analyze the nature of tax reforms implemented in Lagos State from 2018 to 2025.
  2. To evaluate the relationship between these tax reforms and employment generation in Lagos State.
  3. To recommend further reforms to enhance the impact of taxation on job creation.

Research Questions

  1. What tax reforms have been implemented by the Lagos State Government between 2018 and 2025?
  2. How have these reforms influenced employment generation in Lagos State?
  3. What further reforms could enhance job creation through taxation in Lagos State?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Tax reforms in Lagos State have a significant impact on employment generation.
  2. The relationship between tax reforms and job creation in Lagos State is positively correlated.
  3. Further tax reforms would enhance employment generation in Lagos State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study focuses on the effects of tax reforms on employment generation in Lagos State from 2018 to 2025. Limitations include challenges in measuring the direct effects of tax reforms on employment, as external factors may also influence job creation.
